Notes:

Action Items:
• When distributing the final list of questions to the full WG, staff to include notes on intent of TM Claims Service (as reflected in the IRT and STI reports)
• For Q3, general question: change "the" to "its" in referring to intended effect
• Move new question suggested by Kathy into the Q3 specific questions list, possibly refining language to tie it to any chilling effects and/or unintended consequences that are identified Simplify table (take out the additional context and prior discussions) - need a clearer visual depiction Michael to work with staff on simplified table before next week (Michael to start draft of possible decision tree diagram)
• Michael to consider some possible initial definitions for Q3

Discussion Notes:
· Q3 - park question of meaning/definition of "intended effect" for now; Sub Team may prepare a definition or explanation when the list of questions goes back to the full Working Group
· (Phil Corwin): Generally speaking, I think the intended effect of the TM Claims Notice was to deter intentionally infringing (as in cybersquatting) domain registrations. And the main unintended effect is to deter and cause abandonment of substantial numbers of registrations that were neither intended to infringe on TM rights or that would have constituted bad faith registration and use if completed.
